Why Oak Crest

Coverage matched to what your specific profession is exposed to

Independent, not captive

We shop your risk across multiple commercial carriers instead of steering you toward one company's appetite.

We know hard-to-place accounts

Contractors, restaurants, manufacturers, and other specialty risks are markets we work in regularly, not occasionally.

One point of contact

Certificates of insurance, renewals, and midterm changes go through your agent directly, not a support queue.

Local to the Hill Country

For Central Texas professional service businesses

Real estate agents, attorneys, engineers, consultants, and other advice-driven businesses across the Hill Country carry a different exposure than a business selling a physical product — a claim about your judgment or your work product, not a physical injury. We make sure that gap is actually covered.

Questions

Errors & omissions questions

What's the difference between E&O and general liability?

General liability covers physical injury and property damage claims. E&O covers claims that your professional advice, service, or work product was negligent, incomplete, or failed to deliver as promised — a financial harm rather than a physical one.

Do I need E&O if I'm a sole proprietor?

Often yes — your personal assets can be at risk from a claim related to your professional work, regardless of business size. It's worth a conversation even as a one-person operation.

What does "claims-made" mean for my policy?

A claims-made policy only covers claims made (reported) while the policy is active, and often depends on a retroactive date. This affects what happens if you switch carriers or stop practicing — we'll walk you through it.

Which industries typically need E&O coverage?

Real estate, legal, engineering, consulting, financial services, insurance, and other advice- or service-based professions are the most common, though it can apply more broadly depending on what your business promises clients.
